` To all whom it mayv concern.'

Be it known that we, WrLLIAM E. WALKER and GEORGE E. WILBUR, both ofTaunton, in lthe county of Bristol and State of Massachw 5 setts,citizens of the United States, have in vented a new'and usefulImprovement in Heat-l ing-Stoves, of which the following isa full,l

clear, and'exact description, reference being f had to the accompanyingdrawings, forming a Io part of this specification, in explainingitsnature, in whichi h 1 Figure lrepresents a vertical section, taken fromside to side, of a heating-stove containing the features of ourimprovement; Fig. 2repl5 resents a vertical section of thestove fromfront to rear. Fig. Bis'aplan view of the stovetop. Figs. 4 and 5 kshowdetails of the construction, which are hereinafter more particu:

Y larly referred lto.- i v zo The invention relates4 especially to anovencover made in two parts, one of which parts is pivotedpto the topvplateior rim surrounding the oven, to be swung horizontally, and thelotherrof which is made ,entirely removable 25 from said top plate Aorrim. v

- Referring to the drawings, AA isthe ash-pit; B, the fire-pot; C, thecombustion-chamber; D, the youter casing of the main portion of thestove; D', the base-section of the stove. 3o lFi E are the down-duesconnecting the combustion-chamber with the base-flue.

F isthe uptake; G, the grate; H, the oven, which is located in theupperpart of the stove, and like most ovens of this character it is cast 31with the top plate, h, ofthe stove. The cover is made in two parts, oneof whichthe part H-is attached to the top plate of the stove by thepivot h', so as to be swung or f moved horizontally thereonk lfrom aposition 4o over the oven to one side of the top plate, as representedin full and dotted lines in Fig. 3. This part comprises about two-thirdsof the entire cover, and hasa lateral extension, which forms a base forthe support of the ornament 45 h2'. The other part, ha, of theoven-cover com'-` prises about one-third of the entire cover, and f isgenerally a fixture, but can be moved from the side when it is desiredtoexpose another v` opening to the oven. It is held or secured inijsogplace by means of the hook or projection hf, p

(see Fig. Ain) which extendsv downwardlyiand f .outwardly from thenarrow edge `of this part of the cover, and which shuts into jahole,jh,\r Y in thetop plate, h, (see Fig. 4,) in such a manner Vthat theuppersurfaee ofthe hook'or'prok55 v jection bears against the undersurface of the top plate. The part h3 of thecover also .has the guideshl, whichproject downward from the inner surface of the cover below itslower edge, and vareadapted when this part of the 6oy cover is in dplaceto ucome incontactwith the inner wall of the oven,'andincoun'ection'with the hook or projectionl'to lock or hold vthe partsecurely in place. 'Ioy remove 'this sec` tion h3 from the top plate, itis only necessary 65- to tip it outward on the hook hfsufciently topermit the withdrawal of the hoiok'vfrom its hole.'VY` The swinging'portion H of vthe cover has a solid portionor part, h5, near thepivot 1v '71,', which extends `downward below thebase- 7oA line hf ofthe cover,to form the inclinedsur-k face hm and the straight surface h1?. Uponthemovement of the cover` the incline rides upon the upper surface of thetop plate, h,fwhe`re it.V surrounds: the oven opening, 'and' thereby 75causes the entire cover to be somewhat lifted, so that its lower-edgedoes not drag upon the.

y'upper surface of the top plate, h, and itis held thus lifted orlifted'above .thesurface by the straight lsurface hn, which continues tokbear 8o f upon the upper surface of thetop plate,- h, as

the part H is moved. Y y Y Y It will be observedy that thefpart h? ofthe cover is shaped to cover a comparatively small section of the oven;`thatit not onlyincludes ,85 about 'one-third 'of the outer` portion'ofthe oven Vin circumference, but that its upper line E is curved tocorrespond to this under or base n line, which of course .materiallyreduces the f section of the oven-cover. A planview of this A'9epartisshow/,n in Fig. 3. It will also bey ob;

- served that thegextension ofthe part H of the cover, which` supportsthe urn `or ,other ornag ment', extends over the upper edge ofthe part vvrh3 whenit is closed. l' f 1 95 The subjectmatter of thisapplicationwas .removed by amendment, duly filed,`from out applicationfiled December 22, 1884, Serial No. 150,907'. v f L It is to beunderstood that one of the essen- `Lo 2 I t v 381,096

tial features of the invention is to make the l grate-and we disclaimsuch matter as shown part h of the oven entirely removable from the topplate of the stove in order that the opening to the oven may be entirelyexposed when desired by the removal of one section of the cover and theswinging o of the other` section, and that the means herein specied forholding this stationary section of the cover to the plate show only theconventional devices for such purposes, it being necessary to employthese or similar devices for holding the stationary section of the coverin place upon the top plate.

In an application of even date herewith, Serial No. 161,018, we haveshown the subjectmatter of this invention in connection with anotherfeaturenamely, aA novel form of in this application as is common to andclaimed in the other application'. 2o

Having thus fully described our invention, we claim and desire to secureby Letters Patent of the United Statesy The combination of the oven H,the top plate, h, having the hole h6, the stationary section h? 25 ofthe ovencover, having the hook h, which enters the said hole h, and thestays hi, and the swinging section H, substantially as and for thepurposes described.
